INTRO:
NONE
VERSE:
G Bm
Nothin' but time here on my hands
A
And these steel strings on my fingertips
G Bm
I press my mouth up to the mic
A
Wish I was kissin' on your sweet red lips
G
And the hard part about leavin'
Bm A A
Is that I can't lie that I love bein' gone
Em
'Cause I'm addicted to the dream
G D G D
And heartaches make for one heck of a song
CHORUS:
G Bm
Dirt roads and highways, truck stops and cafes
A
Long stretch of highwire and little white lines
G Bm
Sawdust and dance halls, first shots and last calls
A
Beneath the glow of all those neon signs
Em
Yeah, I'm runnin' down a melody
G
To give it the words and set it free
D A
And tryin' not to write it all wrong
Em
I just wanna livе the kinda life
G D G D
That's gonna make for onе heck of a song
VERSE:
G Bm
Like that one time out in A
A
Me and the boys went out for the night
G Bm
And old Hollywood and his three friends
A
Came in the Troubadour lookin' for a fight
G
So we went out back to the alley
Bm A
And let's just say that it didn't take too long
Em
I guess we could have walked away
G D G D
But that don't make for one heck of a song
CHORUS:
G Bm
Dirt roads and highways, truck stops and cafes
A
Long stretch of highwire and little white lines

BDA K:
Em G
Yeah, I keep howlin' at the moon and shootin' for the stars
D A
Along this lonely road of broken dreams and passin' cars
Em G
Of those hard lessons learned, one thing I've found that's true
D F#m
When I'm followin' my heart, it always leads me back to you
